Anyone who has attempted an airport run with young children in tow will know the particular kind of stress that comes with it. It’s early. Someone has lost a shoe. The bags weigh more than expected. And now you need to navigate to Shannon Airport without being late.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be like this.

Plan the journey before the chaos starts

The biggest thing you can do to reduce airport morning stress is to sort the transport in advance. When you book your airport transfer with Limerick City Taxis, you’re dealing with a real person who picks up the phone. Tell us how many children you have, their ages, and how much luggage you’re travelling with, and we’ll make sure the right vehicle is waiting outside your door.

We can accommodate child seats on request, and our drivers are well used to the organised chaos of family travel.

No parking, no problem

Driving yourself to Shannon Airport with children means dealing with car parks, shuttle buses, and bags, usually with a toddler who has decided now is the right time to refuse to walk. A taxi drops you right outside departures. You step out, grab your bags, and you’re in.

On the way home, after a long flight with tired kids, we’ll be tracking your arrival and waiting in arrivals, even if your flight is delayed. No queuing, no fuss, just a familiar face and a comfortable car.

A few things that help

Bring snacks for the journey. Always bring more than you think you need. A short drive to Shannon can feel much longer when someone is hungry and bored.

Let us know in advance if you need extra boot space for buggies, travel cots, or the kind of luggage that only appears when small children are involved.

And if you’re travelling early, book the night before rather than leaving it until the morning. It takes two minutes and means one less thing to think about when the alarm goes off at 4am.
